Multiple Sql drivers and database connections in one application

[Vagabond]

My application is connected to an oracle database. A new feature requires exporting a subsection of the database to be exported as a local database, so the user can work offline. For this task I have decided to introduce Sqlite into the app.
I have setup an export feature, which will:

---

1.) connect to the oracle db

oci_db_ = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QOCI");

2.) pull info about a table

QSqlQuery qry(oci_db_);

3.) store it in a container

    QList< QList<QString> > results;
    if (oci_db_.isOpen()) {
        QSqlQuery qry(oci_db_);
        qry.setForwardOnly(true);
        if(qry.exec(queryString)) {
            while(qry.next()) {
                QList<QString> row;
                results.append(row);
                for(int i = 0; i < qry.record().count(); ++i) {
                    results.last().append(qry.value(i).toString());
                }
            }
        } else {
            qDebug() << queryString;
            qDebug() << "FAILURE: cannot handle query.";
            qDebug() << "  > " << qry.lastError();
        }
    } else {
        qDebug() << "Error Opening Database = " << oci_db_.lastError();
    }

4.) close the oracle db

oci_db_->close()

5.) open an sqlite connection (add if it does not already exist)

sqlite_db_ = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QSQLITE");

6.) create tables based on pulled data

QSqlQuery qry(sqlite_db_);
qry.exec("CREATE TABLE ...");

7.) close sqlite connection

sqlite_db_->close()

8.) back to 1.) until all tables that need to be stored are retrieved

---

The Sqlite driver is found. When I add the database I get:

QSqlDatabasePrivate::removeDatabase: connection 'qt_sql_default_connection' is still in use, all queries will cease to work.
QSqlDatabasePrivate::addDatabase: duplicate connection name 'qt_sql_default_connection', old connection removed.

Everytime I then try to open and use the Sqlite connection I get this Sql error:

QSqlError("", "Driver not loaded", "Driver not loaded")

Before I throw myself into a time consuming bug fixing session, I was wondering, is Qt even able to setup multiple database connections across different platforms in one session? Any other suggestions that would direct my journey on finding the problem are really appreciated, too.

Hello,
You could name your connections and not close them every time, e.g.:

QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QOCI", "myOracle");
QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QSQLITE", "mySQLite");

Then if you need any of those two in another part of your program, you can simply get them by their name:

QSqlDatabase oci = QSqlDatabase::database("myOracle");

Kind regards.

@kshegunov Thanks I will try that.
